you write in the "washington post" obama ruse. it's not that different from what rubio's group is talking about. but republicans can slam obama's plan as some sort of kenyan socialist inspired abdication of sovereignty. >> that's a good one. will laugh at that a week. >> they can blast the provisions on boarder security as laughable. they can describe the absence of a real plan for reforming the legal immigration process as slapdash or unserious or whatever they want to call it. so if the president really wants immigration reform to pass one of the most helpful things he could do is put out his own plan as decoy to draw republican fire while the senate works on bipartisan consensus, which looks suspiciously like what just happened. >> i said when rubio went on fox and other shows,it was a kabuki dance. marco rubio's plan is a great plan, look what he's doing and ignored he's doing it at 95% of what the president is doing. i'm fine. whatever gets you through the night, awesome. but let us not pretend that one of these plans is much

and joining us now for more on this from washington, the former chief economist of the international monetary fund and bloomberg view columnist, simon johnson. he's the co-author of "white house burning: our national debt and why it matters to you," now out in paperback. simon, good to see you this morning. >> nice to be with you. >> simon, if you could help us through this over the next week or so, it doesn't look like there's a path to avoiding the sequestration if you listen to the two sides. so how damaging would this be? because we've heard a couple different versions of it that would have immediate impacts, more than 750,000 jobs lost perhaps. others say it won't be that bad. what's your view? >> i think it's going to be bad. we're going to lose jobs, gdp is going to slow. i don't know if it will push us back into recession. but the effect on lower-income americans including children is really very harsh. given what's already happened with income inequality in this country in the last couple of years, this is nasty stuff. >> simon, can you give us a sense, perhaps, of how quick

this is washington today. both sides don't really want to budget. >> i think obama, i think basically the republicans have a set of internal politics where they think for their internal purposes, mitch mcconnell's purposes in kentucky doesn't make sense for them to make a deal and president obama is looking at the broader politics. he thinks he can win again. >> you look at the numbers. the polls are on the president's side. the president understands if he doesn't get a deal and you have these massive cuts, you've got an economy that's upside down right now, i don't think he wants to take that risk, does he? >> mika was talking about fake deadlines. the economy's not going to collapse on march 2nd. we went over the fiscal cliff and nothing happened. certainly the american people don't buy the idea that some massive catastrophe will strike. if you've been ignoring the entire fiscal cliff conversation, you kind of won because you didn't miss anything. and i think the public thinks that's what's going on too. >>

of big issues playing out right now in washington. that's according to the you in noons from "usa today" and pew research center. 45% of those polled say they support the president's approach to cutting the federal deficit. 38% support republicans, even a majority of republican voters endorse tax hikes as well as spending cuts. on gun reform, the president's approach polls six points higher than that of the gop. the poll also finds less than one-third of americans would blame the president if the sequester cuts kick in. nearly half of all americans would blame republicans. and on immigration, half of those polled say the president is taking the right approach. 33% endorse how republicans are tackling the issue. >> so james, if i'm still congressman in northwest florida and somebody hands me this and says, you're in trouble. i'm in trouble. i may get 79% instead of 80% of the vote, but that's what's running the republican brand into the ground. the fact that they've got guys that are just looking at their district and saying i'm going
